Highlights
Pet care experience
🏡Would your pets rather stay home?
Mature (50+) & Reliable House & Pet Sitter with a Lifetime of Animal Experience **I understand that pets are family!** Growing up, there was always at least one dog in the house, along with a few cats over the years. As an adult, I've shared my home with many dogs and cats and understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and quirks. **Your fur babies are my fur babies** My mother has worked as a pet sitter for decades, and I've assisted her with pet-sitting assignments involving dogs and cats. Through those experiences, I became comfortable caring for animals with different needs, temperaments, and schedules. **Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule** I can often provide more companionship and supervision than sitters who are away at a traditional job during the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet company, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. **Does your dog or cat need a buddy while you're away?** While I haven't had a pet of my own in the last few years, I still genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the responsibility involved in caring for both pets and the homes they live in. **Say no to the kennel** I believe the best pet care comes from patience, observation, and respect for each animal's unique personality. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing your home is being well cared for too.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When someone invites me into their home and entrusts me with their pets, I understand that they're placing a great deal of trust in me. I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is simple: • Follow your instructions and routines carefully • Keep doors, gates, and potential escape routes secure • Pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or activity levels • Maintain a clean, respectful environment in your home • Communicate promptly if questions or concerns arise • Provide updates and photos so you can relax while you're away I believe pets feel safest when their world remains predictable. Whether I'm caring for a confident dog, a shy cat, or a household with multiple animals, I focus on creating a calm, stable environment that helps them feel comfortable while you're gone. My goal is for you to return home to happy pets, a well-cared-for house, and the confidence that everything was handled with care and attention.
Ratings and reviews
Cassandra is a person of nature. As a child she nurtured many cats and dogs. She is trustworthy and caring and always follows through to the best of her ability. I asa professional pet sitter asked Cassandra numerous times to help me when I was in need of assistance. She always did a very good job.
Cassandra was great with my dog, Penny! I had to bring her with me to work one day because the roof at my house was being replaced. Cassandra was open, warm and playful with her. She loves dogs and I trusted her with my dog completely! It really put me at ease to see how welcoming she could be when Penny and I were having a long, stressful, out-of-routine day. I would definitely recommend her services. Cassandra has always been top on my list for people I know I can call when I need a dog sitter or a house sitter, mostly because my dog requires a lot of care and attention. She will even take wonderful care of your plants for you if you need a plant sitter as she also loves gardening and has a green thumb!;)

Schedule
**I work remotely** Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. My children are grown, and I currently don't have pets of my own, which means I have the time and flexibility to focus on the pets in my care. When caring for your pets, I can typically provide: • Frequent potty breaks and walks • Consistent feeding schedules • Plenty of companionship throughout the day • Playtime, enrichment, and attention • Medication administration when needed • Careful monitoring of pets who are shy, anxious, or prone to escaping • Regular updates and photos for owners Because I'm often home during the day, your pets won't be left alone for long stretches of time. I understand that most animals are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I make it a priority to keep feeding times, walks, medications, and daily habits as consistent as possible. My goal is simple: happy pets, a well-cared-for home, and peace of mind for you while you're away.
